About Time

It must have been about a month since the car hit the wash. Finally, after the Sunday ward round, I had a chance to stop by a car wash near the hospital.

The last time I got it cleaned, it promptly rained soon after. All the polishing gone to waste.

It looked overcast again this afternoon .... Not promising ...

Gonna be Hectic

I was bracing myself over the weekend for the expected onslaught next week. One of my colleague would be away the whole week and i would have to cover his work to add to my call next Thursday. Hopefully there were no unexpected headache on my way.

The last couple of days had been nice and easy. I was able to unwind and chill. My mother-in-law's maid returned to Indonesia on Saturday, so things were hectic back home. Our maid had to do the extra work, and Anita of course.

I might have to stay at the apartment at some stage looking at my schedule. Anita and the boys might not be able to come along should I had to go over since the boys had plenty of school projects to complete.

Might as well enjoy the lull before the storm. It was definitely coming by tomorrow. Cheers ....

Batman!

The old adage of “the best camera is the one you have with you” strike home big time yesterday. Straight after my Sunday Morning ward round, I headed out to Pavilion to settle my bills and pay my credit card fees. Something I do on a monthly basis, kind of my down time. I usually carry my camera with me, to do a bit of street photography, or anything which took my fancy.

Alas, I didn’t have anything with me yesterday. So, I strolled into Pavilion, and the main foyer was transformed into an exhibition site for all things Batman. One of the local credit card provider sponsored the 75th Anniversary Batman exhibition there. Plenty of stuff to see, including the Batmobile and the bicycle - or whatever you called it.

The place was packed, and I wished that I had my camera with me. My boys were not into Batman - they were more into X-men for the time being.But I was sure they would appreciate it if they saw it …

Luckily, the iPhone 5S with Litely app captured some of the scenes pretty well. It could’ve been worse …

I stayed for quite some time looking at the artwork from years gone by, how the costume and even the Batman logo had evolved. I was sure the Batman movie did wonders to promote the comic, one of the more successful spin-offs.

What? No Catwoman?

Not sure how long the exhibition would go on for, but it was certainly worth checking out.

Sunday Afternoon Park Trip

We got our wish for an afternoon in the park today. Right after arriving home from my photowalk, we packed up and left for Taman Tasik Perdana. Getting there early was the ticket. It was just after 4 in the afternoon when we arrived at the car park.

It wasn't too hot when we roamed around. Equipped with the badminton racquets and basketball, we just ran around. We were soaked half an hour later, had a quick snack on the grass and continued on.

By half past five, we were already making our way back to the car as the cloud gathered, threatening to rain. Luckily it didn't and we continued on, this time at the playground.

After we were done, it was straight for dinner at KLCC.

Taman Tasik Perdana had some of the area upgraded and the place was a treasure in the middle of hustle and bustle of KL. As usual, many newlyweds were there, having their ceremonial wedding photographs taken.

The flowers were very well-maintained on the most part. The herb garden was reopened, and was well worth a visit. The whole place was clean and the grass were cut and looked after well. The lake was unfortunately still in a state. Plenty needed to be done there. Ironic wasn't it that the place was called there Lake Garden for the lake, and it was a site sight.

Parking could also be organised better. It wasn't made easy by the fact that there was only a single entry point if you drive in, and mazy cars were parked illegally. A pain if you were to arrive during peak hours. A separate entrance and exit would make a world of difference.

Some extra benches would also be great. Better still, a designated picnic area. They had a food court which was about to open. Great vision by the City Council.

One of the island there was undergoing some renewal work, but the part which were opened certainly looked great. Well manicured grass and all. visitbe frank, the Lake Garden area was a hidden gem. The butterfly and bird park were just around the corner if you plan for a whole day's outing. There was also the orchid garden not too far away. Well worth visit.

A New Week

Last week was a blur. The whole week. It had been busy and it didn't stop until over the weekend. Today was the first day that I could really catch a breather. It had been busy one way or the other, but luckily we were spending time at the apartment rather than back in Gombak.

We finally moved back to the house yesterday, the boys were in school and Anita had a free afternoon.

It would be tax week. I just need to write some cheque and file some documents before then. At least Thursday would be a day off. Labour Day.
